Is the larger one like a whale? Whatever shapes they take, they’re clouds. So what 1 are clouds? The following can help you know more about them. Clouds are floating (漂浮) water drops. They are made of small water drops. Each drop is made of many water molecules (分子). They stay together around a piece of dust. How 2 are cloud drops? A shoebox of clouds might 3 millions of cloud drops. Clouds are 4 . They look light and soft, but they hold a lot of water. The water in an average (普通的) cotton-ball cloud may have a 5 as much as that of a group of elephants. Do you dream of walking on a cloud? It would probably be very 6 and wet. You would even have no comfortable 7 to sit down. But weather balloons found insects inside clouds as high as 20 miles above the earth. The wind blows most of the insects into clouds. Butterflies were once found at 10,000 feet (英尺). Clouds don’t last. They are always 8 . When the wind blows them, they will change their 9 . Will the shapes stay long? Some big clouds can last around all day. But some small soft clouds often last 10 minutes. So take a look at the cloud before it 10 . What does that cloud look like? 1．A．finally B．exactly C．sharply D．similarly 2．A．small B．big C．natural D．important 3．A．collect B．design C．leave D．hold 4．A．dark B．thin C．heavy D．clear 5．A．weight B．breath C．surprise D．chance 6．A．dry B．cold C．low D．white 7．A．chair B．grass C．drops D．place 8．A．developing B．exploring C．changing D．improving 9．A．shapes B．steps C．skills D．sizes 10．A．appears B．goes C．creates D．disappears 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．A 6．B 7．D 8．C 9．A 10．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了云的构成、重量、形态变化等科学知识。 【详解】1．句意：那么云究竟是什么？ exactly确切地；finally最终；sharply尖锐地；similarly相似地。根据“So what…are clouds?”可知此处询问云的准确定义，故选B。 2．句意：云滴有多小？ small小的；big大的；natural自然的；important重要的。根据“millions of cloud drops”和后句可知此处是强调云滴的微小，故选A。 3．句意：一个鞋盒大小的云可能包含数百万云滴。 collect收集；design设计；leave离开；hold容纳。根据“A shoebox of clouds”和“millions of drops”可知指云的容纳能力，故选D。 4．句意：云很重。 dark黑暗的；thin薄的；heavy重的；clear清澈的。根据“hold a lot of water”及后文“大象的重量”对比可知强调云的重量，故选C。 5．句意：普通棉球状云的水分重量可能与一群大象相当。 weight重量；breath呼吸；surprise惊讶；chance机会。根据“as much as that of a group of elephants.”可知此处是比较重量，故选A。 6．句意：那可能会非常寒冷潮湿。 dry干燥的；cold寒冷的；low低的；white白色的。根据“wet”及高空低温的常识可知在云上行走后会很寒冷潮湿，故选B。 7．句意：你甚至没有舒适的地方可以坐下。 chair椅子；grass草地；drops水滴；place地方。根据“sit down”可知是指没有舒适的地方可以坐下，故选D。 8．句意：它们一直在变化。 developing发展；exploring探索；changing变化；improving改进。根据“When the wind blows them, they will change their...”可知，云一直在变化，故选C。 9．句意：当风吹过时，云会改变形状。 shapes形状；steps步骤；skills技能；sizes尺寸。根据首段“shapes they take”及后文“Will the shapes stay long?”可知，风吹过时，云会改变形状，故选A。 10．句意：所以在云消失前看看它吧。 appears出现；goes去；creates创造；disappears消失。根据“before it…”及前文“Clouds don’t last.”可知云不会持续太久，所以在云消失前看看它吧。故选D。 第3小题，drops（云朵里的水滴），很多同学会下意识选择 A. collect（收集），觉得是云“收集”了水滴。 破题关键： 这里的主语是 A shoebox of clouds（一个鞋盒那么大的云团）。鞋盒是一个空间/容器，它本身的物理属性就是容纳或装着（holds）东西。句意为：“一个鞋盒那么大的云团可能装着数百万个云滴。” hold 在这里作“容纳、装有”解。不要被 drops（落下/水滴）的表面意思带偏。 话题2 数字与寓言（共4篇） Passage 1 A woman had a problem.

Looking closer at it, Androcles saw a big thorn (刺) in the paw, and he realized this was the lion’s 4 . With courage, Androcles 5 the thorn. After feeling better, the lion touched Androcles softly because it was truly 6 for Androcles’s help. One day, the king’s soldiers came to the forest and found Androcles. They took him back and he was sentenced to death. The king asked a lion to come out and 7 Androcles. This was a rule to 8 the runaway slaves. But when the lion came out and got near Androcles, it didn’t attack him. It was the lion that Androcles saved in the 9 . Androcles told the king the story between them and how the lion was showing thanks for what he did. The 10 was touched by Androcles’s story and decided to set him free. Be kind to others.

It was getting dark. He was lucky, because he saw a 1 shining not far away. Then he started walking towards it and soon reached a hut(小屋). An old lady was cleaning the yard outside. Thinking he was a 2 from the army, she welcomed him in and gave a plate of hot food to him. The king was so 3 that he quickly put his fingers on the hot food. The hot food 4 his fingers and made him drop some rice. The old lady saw this and said, “Oh, you seem as 5 as your king. That is why you have burnt your fingers and lost some food. “ Surprised to hear this, the king asked, “Why do you think so?” The old lady explained, “My dear son, our king has a big 6 to capture all his enemies’ forts. However, he doesn’t care about all the small forts and only 7 the big ones. The king asked, “That’s a good thing. What is the problem with that?” She patiently replied, “Just like you lost your food, the king’s impatience to beat the enemies quickly 8 the loss of men in his army. But if you had eaten less hot food at the side first and then food in the centre, you would not have burnt your fingers. 9 , the king should capture the small forts and strengthen his position first. It helps him to capture the big forts without losing his men. “ Hearing this, the king realized his 10 and understood that one should have patience and think twice before he acts. 1．A．star B．light C．stone D．lake 2．A．teacher B．cook C．farmer D．soldier 3．A．tired B．angry C．hungry D．excited 4．A．burnt B．cut C．broke D．hit 5．A．unhappy B．unkind C．impolite D．impatient 6．A．surprise B．secret C．plan D．role 7．A．helps with B．works with C．focuses on D．counts on 8．A．caused B．covered C．avoided D．stopped 9．A．Differently B．Strangely C．Surprisingly D．Similarly 10．A．position B．mistake C．order D．promise 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．D 6．C 7．C 8．A 9．D 10．B 【导语】本文讲述战败逃亡的国王偶遇一位老妇人，老妇人借吃饭烫手的小事点拨国王做事不可急躁、要循序渐进的故事。 【详解】1．句意：他很幸运，因为他看到不远处有一束光亮。 根据后文“reached a hut”，可知此处是小屋发出的光。star“星星”、stone“石头”、lake“湖”均不符合语境，light“光”符合。到小屋，其他选项不合逻辑。 2．句意：老妇人以为他是军队里的士兵，便欢迎他进屋，还给他端了一盘热食。 前文国王战败逃亡，老妇人推测他来自军队，soldier“士兵”符合；teacher“老师”、cook“厨师”、farmer“农民”均和军队无关。 3．句意：国王太饿了，以至于他立刻把手指伸向热食。 后文国王急切地触碰食物，体现他饥饿；hungry“饥饿的”符合。tired“疲惫的”、angry“生气的”、excited“兴奋的”均不契合语境。 4．句意：热食烫伤了他的手指，使他掉落了一些米饭。 后文出现“burnt your fingers”，对应此处热食烫伤手指，burnt“烫伤” 符合；cut“割破”、broke“弄坏”、hit“击打”均不符合热食带来的伤害。 5．句意：哦，你和你的国王一样急躁。 后文多次提到国王做事急躁，impatient“急躁的，没耐心的”符合；unhappy“不开心的”、unkind“不友善的”、impolite“不礼貌的”均不符合后文核心主题。 6．句意：亲爱的孩子，我们的国王有一个攻占敌人所有堡垒的宏大计划。 后文讲国王的作战安排，plan“计划”符合；surprise“惊喜”、secret“秘密”、role“角色”均不契合。 7．句意：然而，他不在意所有小堡垒，只专注于大堡垒。 根据句意，国王只将注意力放在大堡垒上，focuses on“专注于” 符合；helps with“帮助”、works with“共事”、counts on“依靠”逻辑不通。 8．句意：就像你弄掉食物一样，国王急于快速击败敌人的急躁导致了军队人员的损失。 此处指急躁的性格造成、导致士兵损失，caused“导致” 符合；covered“覆盖”、avoided“避免”、stopped“阻止”语义相反。 9．句意：同样地，国王应当先攻占小堡垒、巩固阵地。 前文用吃饭烫手类比国王的作战问题，是同理类比，Similarly“同样地”符合；Differently“不同地”、Strangely“奇怪地”、Surprisingly“令人惊讶地”不符合类比逻辑。 10．句意：听到这些，国王意识到了自己的错误，明白了人做事要有耐心，三思而后行。 老妇人点醒了国王，国王认识到自身错误，mistake“错误”符合；position“位置”、order“命令”、promise“承诺”均不符合语境。 话题3 智能与科技（共3篇） Passage 1 （24-25初二上·广东深圳·期中）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C和 D项中，选出最佳选项。 Now more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology (数字技术)”. As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their 1 to do easy things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to become less 2 in talking with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They are 3 about the growing numbers of young students who can only play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to talk to their classmate or friends,” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. Many students can’t get on well with others, but their parents say proudly that their children can 4 a computer or a smart phone well. Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and 5 play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good 6 if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to 7 with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad.

Many students can’t get on well with others, but their parents say proudly that their children can 4 a computer or a smart phone well. Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and 5 play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school.

Students can watch them again after class, which helps us remember what we’ve learned. Once, I missed a math class because I was ill. 5 the cloud classroom, I could watch the recording and didn’t fall behind. Students can also 6 questions online. Teachers reply quickly, and sometimes other students also help answer them. This makes discussions more 7 . Last month, we had a discussion about environmental protection in our English class.

At school Benjamin was good at reading and writing, but not good at Maths. He read all of his father’s books. And when he had money, he always went to buy 2 , because they told him how to do something. The boy liked to use his head and tried to 3 ways to help people enjoy life more.

The building looks like a giant glass box, but inside it 2 hundreds of sensors. At the start of our visit, a friendly robot Alice greeted us. “I was 3 here last month,” she said, “so I’m still learning.” She handed each of us a thin device. The device can make phone calls, send messages and even play chess with you if you 4 it to a game. When we reached the lift on the first floor, Alice told us, “Nobody needs to 5 . Just say the floor number and the lift will hear you.” My friend Lin Yan wanted to go 6 and she shouted with a big voice, “The third floor,” but the lift seemed to do nothing. Then she whispered, “The third floor,” and the doors closed at once. It seems that the sensor only wakes up for soft and 7 voices. It was a clear day, so a wide screen in the room showed the night sky full of 8 . “The picture will 9 if the weather turns cloudy,” said Alice, “Smart technology is here to help people relax.” It was the most amazing 10 I have ever spent. 1．A．to build B．to create C．to find D．to visit 2．A．depend on B．lie C．write down D．take place 3．A．borne B．born C．birth D．birthday 4．A．win B．beat C．challenge D．ask 5．A．kick the ball B．press the button C．knock the wall D．turn on the light 6．A．upstairs B．downstairs C．inside D．outdoors 7．A．polite B．hurried C．rude D．strange 8．A．wind B．clouds C．stars D．moon 9．A．press B．change C．rise D．warn 10．A．year B．month C．week D．weekend 2 / 24 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
